Beverly Willis said “We wanted to raise funds for the unit as they gave my niece’s baby a lot of support when she was born at 28 weeks, weighing a tiny 3lb 5oz. They also supported her sister when she was born prematurely – the unit means a lot to me and my family”.

Leanne Bood, Fundraising Co-ordinator at the Trust said “Our Charity can only provide the additional items that support patient care with support from the local community. Thank you to everyone that helped this team to raise such a wonderful amount”.
